February in Portland
February in Portland is a colorwork and lace yoke pullover, knit top-down and in the round in fingering weight yarn. Sleeves are tapered or puff - options for both are included in the pattern.
This design is the first in four designs inspired by the Pacific Northwest seasons; a collection named Seasons of Cascadia. Aptly named, February in Portland features colorwork motifs and intricate lacework that recall raindrops and the drizzly rainfall that characterizes Portland winters.
The pattern is #sizeinclusive with finished bust measurements from 32-71”/81-180.5cm.

After testing, the collar and top portion of the colorwork was reworked to create a slightly looser collar and more streamlined increase. What you see in sample and tester project photos is the original collar.
